Hut In tho bubordiuato jsruugo, woman cer

flllod almost oycry ofllco, eyou to tho
Maaloi'j chair. Wborovor uho has ability
to do, thoro nho Is placed, and in most In
dtnncea, well doca sho not her part, und Just
bo toon at woman la capablo of higher trunf,
just no soon will sho bo ndvnnccd. Confi
doucoinher ability to do, will promolo
woman at all times and placfs. Merit and
ability, rojard'oii or ox, Tor oIIW, should
bo the recoaunondalion to elcu'ion. I do
not loot na a Rood sister cxpressts It, that no

piy 1cm duos In tho Branj;o. This lucqualb
tyofwagos Is gradually bolnjj dono uwnj'
with, and as mankind Locomea moro hljjhly
otillijhtonod, &o will tho causo of woman bo
advancod.
Itisusoloss for us to pock at theso old
"roatdontora" who novor board of "womnu's
rlfjhta'Mn tholr boyhood; roally thoy think
It la a sin to ovon tbiok of them, and when
tho pocking becomes lrksomo and too much
to bo borno with porfect equanimity thoy
will prosont a moro doplorablo aapcot than
did our vorltablo political chlckon sltico tho
7th of Novombor.
Nowslstoro, this kind of wotk will novor
gain for us tho object wo nroeoeklnjj. Wo
must begin with tho boyn and girls of to day,
Teach thorn what Is nooded. Tench them
that woman should bo taken into full part
norHblp. Show thorn tho powor woman ran
wield for good and advancement. Touch
thoin that mnntally and morally alio la
man'flcqual. Toauh thorn this, and tho lit-
tlotriiHtitig boy of to (by when ho reaohoa
tho yoari of manhood will glvo ua our rlghte.
Thooarllcht hlntory tolls of womanta in
lluonco over man. Uuro It la that woman lias
always possPHto.l a groat Intlucncu moially.
It Ih very plain that bad alio not pttHecd into
bondago In tho long ago, past, tho moral and
political condition of tho present would have
boon far In advauco of what It now Ih. For
conturisH woman was hold in bondage, alio
wax miu'ti slave education wna withhold,
alio wan unnblo to road or wrlto or ovon
think iniolllgontly. Hut thank Ood, the

you Iiml woman degradod, or hold In bon
dago, tlmro you will find Ignorauco and
aloth. htiHt and licontloiisuosH rulu with tho
Iron grip of tho hoathon moiiatch.
Tho feollug now prevailing among women
Is right. Thoy want to bo Independent and
not so completely dependent on man an they
havo boon. Thoy want to bo doing some
thing to bouellt thcimclu'H. llavo n f.ilr
hIiow In tho Hold at what over thoy like.
"Allp-.rlHof education, all field ofartoitd

What woman can do, that Is lcgltlmato', and
has It In her to do, thr.t sho has 11 right to do.
Muko education equal and lot till otcupatlona

WILLAMETTE FARMER

Wamio IIIM.S, Sept. 18,1877.
While our folks nro nrj-'ttlnp. fcnrlnfj
nnd proKperinir, conccriiliiR tlic "Hentlion
ClilfiPP" In Morion county, thoso llttlo
(.'olcetlnlH nig arming themselves with
formidable weapons mattocks. mil nxe.s
forming Inlosquadsof from ton to forly
perpons : and strlkliiB out Into the brush
dlntricts of out- county; nnd taking con
tracts of tjrtiliblnjr nnd clearing up our
rich brush hinds. I am Itilonned that
ovcrntliotiHutnlof tlicu' Clilnaniivi oro
prenuriii" to locate upon our bniMi lanr.s
till tlioy are cleared oil'. This woil.
will ho contlmiptl for tlio next eight
months, and then thoy will bo oil' to tho
salmon fisheries on the Columbia river,
as In seasons past. J-ntiie cstlniiito that
throe thousand acres of our grub lands in
this countv will be prepared by theso llt
tlo Celestials for wheat by next Spring.
Hut I put tho figures ut sis thousand
ncrcs. The product of tho new lands,
sown In wheat this season, In iMarlon
countv, from tlio mattocks of these
lit I ' T .I.I..I. it.... li.. .our. M
"JOIIHS," IS large. 1 uimi. mm me h1'
on those lands will more than pay for
clearing and fencing thorn. When we
take into consideration, that these brush
lands nro only nomlrnlly valuable In
tnelr normal condition; ami wnen 111 cul
tivation, worth from twenty to forty dol
lars per acre on sale, the balance prepon
derates in favor of clearlni them out
speedily. Hut to tho land-owners who are
settled here, theso lands are of Imineiiso
value In all time to come.
However strange It may scorn to many
persons, yet It Is true, Unit our oak, flr
and hazel lands 1110 the strongest and
niostilurul grain land which we have. I
know that the question of Cliinn labor
has two sides to it. Prophets and Seers
look into the future, nnd sco rulu before
us, on account of theseChlncsu grubbers
anil rouah work laborers, And bummers
und strikers who will not grub nor chop,
look on with wrath and threaten tho
ChlncHonnd 1 heir employers with "Chcco
doings I" Hut I guess, that before all of
tho heathen Chlneo and their employers
shall be slain, a goodly amount of our rich
hrunh land will be innilo ready for a
wheat crop. Tho moro lauds In cultiva
ting, the more white men, horses, mules
nnd farm machinery will bj required hero
to till them. I would be happy to inform
all those who arc so Interested about our
employing Chinamen lo grub our lands,
that there itre thousands of tho very best
second rale quarter sections of laud on
tho Western slopes of the C.ncado Moun
tains, and the Kastcrn slopes of the Coast
rnngy ready for homestead settlers. Theso
lands aro ileh, well watered, healthy and
gonorally easily to be cleared oil'. (Jo on
to these land.", make yourselves good
homes, nnd no heathens will come near
you, too, want some of them to grub for
you. There Is room for all persons here,
and for llfty times as many more, who
can all llud plenty of employment fur
profitable gain. Whenever the great
evils which inny nrlso from tho hlrelng
of these Asiatics, shall appear hero in
manifest form, then we shall bo foremost
In devising suitable remedies for them.
Ncccsity caused our people to cinnh.y
Chinamen. If the rough work which
ought (o bo done, could be dono by
white men, then Chinamen would not bo
hired by us. Hut not ouo man In llfty,
who Is arilvlug here, will grub, clear up
or muko rails. They will drive a team
for us, or do eay work, which wo web
footers prefer doing for ourselves, hut they
will not do tho heavy, hard work.
'v, no 0110 wishes to compel them to
do such work, unless they anuli. posed to
do It. And here, In conclusion, let 1110
oiler one of the very strongest Induce
ments to hire Chinamen that wo havu
hero : We till know that tho numberof
women lo the number men in Western
Oregon, is about ouo to four. Our women
are overworked, worked to death often
times.. Wo sovereign ninlrs can tako
times in Ihu misty season quite comfort
ably, but not m with our women (ladies
I should have said) who have 110 rest
from loll tho year round, In washing,
sweeping and tending the llttlo webfnot
ers, etc. And one or more white men bo
hired, they must, of course, bo boarded,
whetlier they work or not. Anil 1 am
Mirry to say, (hat many a strange man
hasbeen hired nnd seated by our fireside,
and treated with all sociable kindness,
who havo corrupted our. voting folks.
The "Heathen Chinee'' live entirely to
thcinclves when working for us. Hut
this article must close. Viuutas.
THE FAMtLY.
Tho family Is the educator of tho race.
Hero men and women are made. What
they are in the world, that they wero in
tho'famlly as children. Tho family is
the place wlioro the first lessons of law
are received, and where the wholo char
acter In view of law has a direction given
It. Tlio citizen is made In the family
long before tho time for voting or activ
ity lias come. When Napoleon said, in
answer to Madame do Start's question
about France's greatest need, "Mothers,"
he asserted, the all-potent iiinticuce of a
true family life. The family Is tlio groat
inonus for the development of character.
What a world does It present for tho af
fections to abide lu I Whereon tlio earth
besides tiro thosyinpitthhs fo warm, love
st pure und fervent, as nere . ah mat
gives value or beauty to human charac
ter Hilda lu the family at oueo an atmos
phere In which to expand aud develop
the elonients which shall bring it to the
highest perfection. The family creates
a perpetual power which holds mid
moves evermore eacu iimiviuuai 01 me
circle. Tho parental love, evoked every
hour In ptovidlng, watching, guiding,
throws back its Intluouco over tho heart
and life of father and mother, and make
them what they never could bu without
it ; It Is 11 powor which tomb all tho tlmo
to lift them to a higher and bettor place.
TiuJE rmsKPskii-.
Truo friendship says : "Lot our frieniU
proior; let them go higher uud be bet
ter than we are. If to us hoarlm; Is de
nted, und they it, let us be thankful that
that they havo it. Let us be thankful
for till tho blosinjs that they receive."
For when one has Identified himself
with another, his feeling towards that
other should be: "All that I have I
thine; ul that there is is mine, aud I
am thine, and thou art mine,, and that
through weal aud through woe, to the
end.
